Leg muscle weakness is a common problem in individuals with COPD. Multiple options for measuring weakness exist but these values can not be compared amongst each other. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a standardized, reliable protocol method for quadriceps strength testing that can be done in clinical settings on adults with COPD.

The purpose of this study is to test the different tele-rehabilitation devices in remote and rural communities with people who have chronic lung disease to make sure the devices accurately measure, store and transmit physical activity data.

The goal of this study is to develop, validate, and pilot a questionnaire that was created to examine if people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are engaging in general and COPD-specific personal disaster preparedness. Content validity, response process validity, and test re-test reliability will be examined.

A research study comparing the accuracy of energy expenditure measurements from pedometers, accelerometers, multi-sensor methods, and flex heart rate methods to judge the best tool to use to monitor activity in very sick CF patients.

The main purpose of this research project is to investigate whether and how exercise training through pulmonary rehabilitation program can specifically modulate arterial stiffness in patients with COPD.
